Controlling Temperatures

If you have a power source to your greenhouse then consider using tube heaters to help maintain temperatures at the appropriate level for your plants.

Standard tube heaters have a built in adjustable temperature level which controls the heat of the tube rather than the heat of the room. These will require manual adjustment according to fluctuations in the outside temperature. This type of heater is also designed to work with plug in thermostats to give a greater degree of control.

Tube heaters that have built in analogue or digital thermostats allow you to automatically set and maintain the temperature in the room.  This removes the manual adjustments required by heaters that only feature a built in temperature control.

As with any heat source you need to take into account where they are placed for both safety and optimal effectiveness. The closer to the floor the better as the heat generated from these heaters will rise rather than be convected forwards into the greenhouse. Guards to prevent anything directly covering the heater and causing a fire risk should also be considered.
